WRONG NUMBERS
ALL IN A DAY’S
WORK FOR COPS
Thu Is a tale just for those pa
tient ladies, the telephone operators.
It'* about one “wrong number’’ some
body got yesterday that can’t be
blamed on them.
It was down in the office of the
desk sergeant at' police headquarters.
The hands of the clock showed the
hour was almost 4 In the afternoon.
There was a temporary lull in the
usual office bustle.
Even the ever-winking little lights
and recurrent buzzes on the instru
ment panel of Officer Sidney
Baughn's switchboard were idle for
the moment. News had ceased to fil
ter in o friot, rebellion or even minor
Insurrection
Sidney started at the panel. But
Instead of neat rows of switchboard
plugs before his eyes there rose the
outlines of the house he’s going to
paint soon. In a chair nearby sat
Lieut. J. H. Lange The lieutenant
smoked his pipe end said nothing,
which he does quite frequently. Desk
Sergeant R P. Crowder’s pen rasped
across a page of the ’’log’’ book. But
for the rustling breeze of another
dying Spring day outsde there was no
other sound.
’•Brrr” went the switchboard buz
zer. Sidney jerked alert. Then his
forehead wrinkled in perplexity. The
indicat roshowed the call as coming
from one of the police sub-stations.
They were put out of service long ago
by the new-fangled radio patrol cars.
Sidney thought some mlschevlous boys
had taken a receiver off the hook at
one of the sub-stations He spoke his
mind into the mouthpiece of the po
ll--' switchboard phone. Fluently too.

Gives Rule
To Live By

SARN TO WORK, AND
NEVER FORGET HOW
TO LAUGH
By VIRGINIA LEE
THESE ARE a few of the things
that I have learned by living in this
good old world—-or bad old world, ac
cording to the mood you’re in.
These rules will work whether you
are a hen-pXked husband, a wife and
mother, a biide-to-be or groom ditto,
a lone spinster or a care-free bachel
or. By the way, why is an unmarried
woman in her late thirties, forties or
fifties, regarded with pity, for her
loneliness and a man in the same age
category envied because he is said
to be “free”. I wonder if he isn’t
lonesome too, and if, really and truly,
more tnan a very, very few married
men would change places with him.
And are spinsters lonely?
The>»e are the things I believe aid
happy living:
That if you are friendly and willing
toi go mere than half way, if neces
sary, to meet people, you will have
friends.
That you fust leam to work, and
it do sn’t much matter at what. You
can get the biggest kick out of any
job, provided you go at it intelligent
ly and do it e* well as you know
how.
That you can have an awfully good
time if you enjoy the little things of
life—things that cost nothing—a love
ly cloud-swept sky. flowers in bloom,
a pretty child, a kitten, puppy, bird,
or any other little animal. The colors
of fruits and vegetables, crockery
linen, glass and furniture, making new
acquaintances, meeting old ones, go
ing places and seeing things—if it
is only to a city park. ILlstening to
music, looking at pictflres, reading
good books
Thau when you feel perfectly aw
ful—mentally and physically—and in
cllr.cG to think you are the most ill
used person in the word and have
the most worries, you can get yourself
out of it Ly finding someone else who
is much worse off, or by going to a
picture show or on a party, the idea
being to get your mind off yourslef.
And that a sense of humor is the
best thing In the world to have at
any time, and should be carefully
